Porcelain and composite veneers are cosmetic dental treatments used to improve the appearance of teeth by refining shape, colour, symmetry and smile balance. At Grange Green Dental Practice, veneer treatment is carefully planned around your teeth, face, bite and smile goals, with the aim of creating a balanced, natural-looking result.
Whether you want to refresh your smile, improve worn edges, close small gaps or make subtle cosmetic changes, your dentist will assess your teeth, gums and bite before recommending the most suitable option.
What are veneers?
Veneers are thin layers of porcelain or composite material placed on the front surface of teeth to improve their appearance. They can be used to refine tooth shape, disguise discolouration, close or reduce the appearance of small gaps, and improve worn or uneven edges.
Veneers can help to:
- Improve tooth shape and symmetry
- Improve the appearance of tooth colour and brightness
- Close or disguise small gaps where suitable
- Create a more balanced smile
- Support smile confidence in suitable cases
There are two main types of veneers: porcelain and composite, Each option has different benefits, limitations, maintenance needs and costs. Your dentist will explain which approach may be most suitable for your teeth and goals.

- Comprehensive smile assessment

Porcelain vs composite veneers
Porcelain and composite veneers can both improve the appearance of teeth, but they differ in material, planning, appointment time, maintenance and longevity.
Porcelain veneers are custom-made in a dental laboratory and are often chosen for their strength, stain resistance and lifelike appearance. Composite veneers are sculpted directly onto the tooth and can often be completed in one visit, depending on the case.
Your dentist will explain which option is most suitable for your smile, tooth structure, bite, budget and long-term maintenance needs.

“I saw jasmine the hygienist today and I've never seen a proper hygienist before. Ive only ever had the old scale cleaning as part of a check up with my old NHS dentist. Well, I cannot beleive the difference between the slightly barbaric treatment I've endured over the years with my NHS dentist compared to how gentle Jasmine was today. My teeth have never felt this clean! She was so sweet, I absolutely reccomened her. ”

“Struggling with crazy anxiety, some times to the point I need a moment to walk through the door - every time I've entered, I've been welcomed by big smiles, and a welcoming atmosphere. All the staff are genuinely humble, reassuring, and listen to all of your concerns. I've never had such in depth, detailed examinations and explanations, knowing where I stand and what needs to be done. It's still a long journey for me, but they are making it easier each step of the way. Thank you 🙏🏻 ”

Are veneers safe?
Veneers are a well-established cosmetic dental treatment when they are carefully planned and placed by a dental professional. Before recommending treatment, your dentist will assess your teeth, gums, bite and tooth structure to check whether veneers are suitable for you.
Preserving healthy tooth structure is always a priority where possible. However, some veneer treatments may involve preparation of the natural tooth surface, and your dentist will explain this clearly before treatment begins.
Good oral hygiene, regular dental check-ups and careful day-to-day habits can help maintain your veneers over the long term.
Why consider veneers?
Veneers may be suitable if you want to improve the appearance of tooth shape, colour, worn edges, small gaps or smile balance.
Potential benefits include:
Natural-looking cosmetic enhancement
Custom-designed veneers planned around your smile
Choice of porcelain and composite options
Conservative options available in suitable cases
Designed to last with good care and maintenance
